...to the age of the Internet, the human race has sought ever
more efficient ways to exchange information.

We are no longer limited by the physicality of information.

Dramatic reductions in marginal cost of production is not the
whole story.

is the most successful information system ever devised... but why
did the Web win?

arise when the act of participation makes the entire network more
useful for everyone

for the wide open unexplored markets created by radical
innovations.

that didn't exist 30 years ago.
Now what about 100 years ago?

Now which companies exist only because of the Web?
All because the web lets you link documents together.

The Semantic Web fundamentally changes how information, machines
and people are connected
In the Semantic Web, it is not the Semantic which is novel, it
is the Web -- Chris Welty, IBM

its powerful network effects are enabling a radical transformation
away from islands of data.
Conjecture 1: Data outlasts code
http://flickr.com/photos/carrick/61952845/
Therefore open data is more important than open source

Conjecture 2: There is more structured data in the world than
unstructured
http://flickr.com/photos/artg33k/2485267144/
Therefore people who understand structure matter
Conjecture 3: Most of the value in our data will be unexpected
and unintended
http://flickr.com/photos/ninjanoodles/1586208492/
Therefore we should engineer for serendipity

The goal is not to build a web of data. The goal is to enrich
lives through access to information.

Does preservation require protection?

Provide and Enable
http://flickr.com/photos/retropc/2863861748/
Provide... use your unique expertise and knowledge to collect,
organise and publish data you care about
http://flickr.com/photos/imuttoo/2631466945/
Enable... licence your data for reuse, give important things a
URI and link widely.

Shouldn't the right data be available when you need it?
Can someone please tell me why my bio and all of my tribe
friends are listed on a site I have never been to or heard of?I
didn't think this was Tribes style. I feel cheated and betrayed. If
I wanted my profile to be farmed out, I would join Facebook.
